Washington please.

Gimme the Leafers boss.

And since it's a fantasy draft, there's only a 1/8 chance I trade Versteeg twice!

Ok I am waiting for MD to pick the last team, I am going to start working on the fantasy draft roster so we can probably start tonight.

I need some ideas for what the salary cap should be. I want to see if you guys think the same range that I am thinking. Just post your suggestions. Remember this is a smaller league so each team will have a lot of star power (and salary for that fact).

 

[habsman56]

Do we have a situation that we need to take care of here.

I am a commish dammit, I am not a marriage counselor!

Can't stand that loser.

Stupid Isles fans.

NA NA NANA NA!

I am going to put the fantasy draft up as soon as I hear some opinions on the salary cap.

I have it all ready to go, and we can begin tonight but I want to get the salary cap set before we go.

 

[flyguy]

I say 70-75 or so. You may as well wait until tomorrow, it's getting late

 

[The Instigator]

No way. 65 is what I say.

 

[Dr Pepper]

65 is fine with me.

And agreed on waiting until tomorrow to start it off.

Maybe get the order finalized whenever, but have the "official" draft clock start later tomorrow?

 

[New York RKY]

I dont think 65 is possible. Think about it, you have to fit 30 teams worth of good players onto 10 teams. There are going to be a lot of stacked teams with a lot of hefty contracts.

I agree with flyguy that it needs to be somewhere between 70-75, but that's me.

 

[The Instigator]

That takes the fun out of it. There's no strategy if you just blow money.

 

[IslesRock4]

HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY.

The cap number will be......$83M. Because I said so.

 

[The Instigator]

wimpy wimpy wimpy.

70 should be the absolute max IMO.

Yea, I don't mind starting tomorrow.

This is where some of you guys come in. I plan to get at least 2 rounds done per day, so that makes it about an hour time slot each. I have a paper that I need to work on, so if someone wants to just auto a pick if I'm not on then I'm fine with that.

I will do my best to stay on all day, however.

Actually, come to think of it, I think 70-75 may be too high. I think 67.9 should be a good number.

 

[New York RKY]

You're right, I forgot for a second the NHL salary cap.

I think something like 67.9 should be good.

 

[The Instigator]

...68.3

Then IR4 gets his "XX.3"

 

[Moses Doughty]

Hockeyalltheway-I shall kill you some day for this teamjacking

Before I choose, how are we sorting the prospect pool we keep? Because Ill take Edmonton or Nashville depending on who we keep.

Moses is in it, team not decided

 

[Moses Doughty]

For cap...Id say 75-85

 

[IslesRock4]

...68.3

Then IR4 gets his "XX.3"

LOL. You suck.

 

[The Instigator]

Haha I honestly don't get it! Every time!

 

[The Instigator]

"IR4.3"

Make sure you read the first post to get caught up on all the rules.

The team you pick (say Edmonton) will draft the 20 NHL spots, but you get to keep Edmonton's entire prospect system.

Prospect systems remain untouched, only NHL players are eligible to be drafted.

 

[New York RKY]

I think I am going to go with 68.5 (yes I added to .2 in an attempt to piss IR off :p)

Are you guys ok with that, it's almost 10 mill more than the current cap, and near 70 so everyone is happy (except IR)

 

[Moses Doughty]

Oh I was just making sure if Im Edmonton can I keep Omark? And Petry/Chorney? Since they have been called up due to injuries

 

[The Instigator]

Can I change to Nashville? Would I get to keep Blum?

I thought we might have a prospect draft, Caps prospects are kinda ******.
